Mobile barcode solutions provider Scanbuy has partnered with Orange France to power Flashcode, a mobile barcode service that will allow marketers in France to create, edit, manage and generate a rich set of analytics about their mobile barcodes.
Scanbuy will provide its carrier grade self-managed platform, along with mobile apps for all major platforms that read all standard code formats including Datamatrix, QR Code, EzCode and UPC/EAN, as well as provide a “Mobile Web Edition” feature that can be used to generate mobile formatted websites for businesses. Moreover, the company will open a local office in France to manage the France ScanLife operations from there.
Last year, Orange was one of three mobile operators in Spain to successfully launch the service called Bidi. Scanbuy has launched locally in five markets in multiple regions, and receives scans from over 30 different countries every day.
According to Scanbuy’s CEO and President Mike Wehrs, 2010 was a booming year for the company, with the 1600% increase in global scans.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
